  • Trish Hankins Jeff, it's one thing to verbally say it around the workplace(not saying that's right either) but taking a straw poll on social media with their names listed is quite a different story. Defamation of character law suits to follow. If MY name were on it, he would be croc bait.....

  • Angelette Holtman It's great because this firehouse can continue to serve its community with the trucks that were saved by the quick thinking of the firefighters. I think he meant the actions of said firefighters was great?

  • Winnie Barrett I saw this on the news last night , so very sad to have lost the equipment that they did. Prayers for the quick thinking firefighter who not only fought the fire initally with a "trash line" sized hose, but also saved the one truck, risking his own life (no turnout gear) in the process.
